Fueling the fight means more than sustaining equipment — it means sustaining Soldiers. As part of an effort to enhance quality of life and support readiness, the Culinary Outpost officially began serving Soldiers at Fort Shafter, providing fresh, convenient meals designed with Soldiers in mind. 

The Fit to Fight initiative was developed in coordination with the Army’s I Corps command surgeon team and the Headquarters and Headquarters battalion command to achieve its readiness goals. The program, which integrates the Holistic Health and Fitness program, reinforces the idea that readiness extends beyond physical fitness. By combining expert coaching, nutrition, sleep optimization, mental performance and recovery strategies, Fit to Fight helps Soldiers improve performance and reduce the risk of injury, enhancing both individual and unit readiness.

The Army has replaced the long-standing height and weight tables, circumference-based tape test, and supplemental body fat assessments with the Waist-to-Height Ratio (WHtR) health assessment tool. This immediate change is part of a broader effort to accurately assess soldier health, increase force readiness, and continue to align the Army Body Composition Program with medically validated practices. 

U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden raised more than $115,000 during its annual Army Emergency Relief campaign, the most ever collected at the installation. On July 1, the garrison recognized its top representatives and units for their efforts. Army Emergency Relief is a nonprofit organization that provides financial assistance to service members and their Families to help them overcome unexpected financial challenges and promote long-term financial stability.
